As learnt in

nth order reaction -

The rates of the reaction is proportional to nth power of reactant

- wherein

Differential rate law

=\frac{dx}{dt}=k(a-x)^{n}

Integrated rate laws,

=\frac{1}{x-1}=[(a-x)^{1-n} -a^{(1-n)}]=kt

a= initial, concentration of reactant at t=0 sec

x= concentration of product formed at t= tsec

t_\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{(a^{n-1})(k^{n-1})}[2^{n-1}-1]

 

 

Reaction is of zero order as the unit of rate constant is mol L-1  s-1

\therefore concentration = K t

                            = 0.6 x 10-3 x 20 x 60 M

                            = 0.72 M
